Leylines (Classic Black) (2025)
Ultimae
Aes Dana
Classic Black / 2xLP Vinyl 180g + Insert Poster AES Dana’s Leylines is being reissued in a newly reedited and remastered version. Originally released in 2009, “Leylines” quickly became a pivotal work in Villuis’s career. What few people knew at the time is that the album was composed in its entirety twice: after a catastrophic disk crash destroyed the original version and one year of work, Villuis entered a period of deep introspection before starting over. This shock led not only to emotional reckoning but also to a complete reinvention of his creative process.
Leylines became the foundation for a new compositional language, one built on a fresh sonic palette, renewed patterns, and a more sculptural approach to sound. The final result was more distilled, more intentional, and marked a turning point in his musical trajectory. Upon release, the album reached #1 on the iTunes USA Electronic Music charts, establishing itself as a landmark within the genre. Inspired by the concept of “leylines”, invisible energy paths believed to link sacred and geomagnetic sites, the album explores the subtle connections between musical genres, emotional states, and the living world. Sculpted from field recordings, analog synthesis, and digitally processed textures, Leylines is a deeply immersive and granular journey. This reedited and remastered edition brings greater spatial clarity and depth, revealing new layers of nuance and sonic interplay. Written, produced and performed by Vincent Villuis Mastering by Vincent Villuis at Ultimae Studios

Ultimae

Psilowave are delighted to present Ultimae Records to the UK. Long established as one of the leading labels for the more discerning Electronic Ambient enthusiast. Always well informed but without bowing to the fickle trends of the Ambient genre, Ultimae have carved their own niche within Electronica shaping the label sound into a sophisticated, intelligent and polished entity. All releases have a unique resonance, a certain sheen which is unmistakable! Originally formed as Infinium Records in 1999 and morphing into Ultimae records in 2001 with Headquarters based in Lyon, France. Founded by Vincent Villuis (AES Dana) and Sandrine Gryson (Mahiane) as an avenue to release their own music, the label quickly grew to encompass a diverse roster of highly accomplished musicians and artists. Many of the most respected Electronic musicians of the last decade have called Ultimae their home, where they have been nurtured and allowed full freedom to develop their sound. Carbon Based Lifeforms and Solar Fields (Magnus Birgersson) to name but two, both matured as artists and released some of the most refined and sublime Ambience ever recorded whilst at Ultimae. The company is now so much more than “just” a label, offering licensing, sound design and mastering services, with Vincent Villuis being the go to man for mastering for many of today’s leading electronic producers looking for that elusive depth, clarity and polish to be imprinted into their recordings. Also a self contained record store in their own right Ultimae have helped raise awareness of their own sound and introduced us to many other labels and artists not only in France but around Europe and the States. We are more than a little proud, in fact we are honoured to represent Ultimae here in the UK. In their own words Ultimae are, and remain “Panoramic since 1999”.

The label is bright, clean and unmarked. Sleeves will be near new condition. Virtually no wear to faces, edges or corners.
Excellent [EX]Record surfaces are bright and clean but may have a few light paper scuffs or superficial surface marks that do not affect play. The record has obviously been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light blemish.
